A large issue in the 2016 presidential election trail is the raising of the minimum wage. The biggest supporter of this raise is Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders, who wants the minimum wage up to $15 an hour.

What many fail to realize is, well for one thing Mr. Sanders is a very rich man, and also, raising the minimum wage would mean the inflation of all other goods.

Lauren Kornegay, project coordinator for the Lancaster County Outreach Project, gave an impressive presentation at the Indian Land Democratic Club meeting on Aug. 27.

Kornegay’s mission is to raise awareness about the Outreach Project and to enhance the lives of abused and neglected children and adults served through the Department of Social Services of Lancaster in building a comfortable lifestyle that meets their needs.

We want to express how pleased we are with the way Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile operates the Sheriff’s Office. As citizens of Lancaster County, we are proud of the improvements he has made to the department.

Faile has trained officers to the most professional level that can be attained in law enforcement procedures. They are always ready for whatever arises.

I am writing to express my deep gratitude to Lancaster County Sheriff’s Office and his entire office. He has always been very efficient in carrying out his duties keeping our county safe and citizens protected.

However, I want to express my appreciation to the sheriff for going above and beyond his duty and responsibility. I know he cares deeply for the people of Lancaster County and he shows it in how he handles every situation that arises, whether it is crime or domestic violence.
